Collapsed Arch Correction:

Pronation or collapsed arches increase stress on your knees, hips and lower back. They cause this stress by allowing the ankle to fall toward the midline of your body causing you to be more susceptible to injury and back pain. Custom orthotics provide proper arch support relieving the stress on your joints and may correct pronation.

High Arch Correction:

Opposite to a collapsed arch, a high arch or supination is when your ankle leans away from the midline of your body. This movement puts stress on your joints similar to pronation causing your to be more susceptible to injury or back pain. Your arches may not be balanced, with one high than the other, causing further pain, balance and spinal issues. Investing in custom orthotics can help correct high arches by supporting your feet and re-aligning your spine.
